Description

This vintage Kentucky straight bourbon was distilled by National Distillers and bottled in the 1980s, prior to the company's acquisition by Jim Beam in 1987. Bottles from this era are now sought after for their sweet, rounded profile and characteristically oily texture – often showing greater depth and lower corn intensity than many modern equivalents. A solid example of 1980s-era bourbon and a reliable introduction to the National Distillers house style.
